O professor de educação física enquanto mediador na construção de um tempo livre dotado de sentido concreto

Abstract

The objective of this study is to understand, through the differentiation between "abstract" and "concrete" work, the Physical Education Teacher's role as a mediator in the construction of a free time endowed with concrete sense as well as a work time. We know that the pedagogic practice is addressed by the social practice as a whole, revealing the teacher's world vision, with this intention, the present study also tries to understand what the Physical Education Teacher does in his/her free time. The research involves teachers from public schools in the municipal district of Santa Maria/RS. These individuals were interviewed so that their ideas could serve as contributions for the study. Although there are no closed conclusions regarding the focused theme, we believed that the work developed today by the Teachers is a time of abstract work as well as an abstract free time, in spite of the fact that we evidence there are some reflections about it, but nothing that it is executed in concrete practice, as part of the pedagogic action as of their own free time. This way, it is necessary more time of dedication to the theme and, also, of discussion of the own organization of the time and of the objectives to be reached in schools, so that we can make a possible pedagogic action/change.
